Week0, same old stuff. Mkt doing drunk stupid things..... People cutting in line to play Wash-1 @ the Mormons.......no one wanted the LockerRooms +3 2 days earlier. Eog nation taking unlv +20 offshore, Vegas rectangles wearing Cheese laying 20.5 and 21. Big 24-39 point favs gettting bet up by 4 points.....sometimes covering, sometimes not, but sometimes covering the opener, not the closer. No one paying any attention to the game action, just setting 2hlf lines based on the computer models......and the game lines and halftime scores. To keep us from getting too cocky UCLA allows a 31 yd td run on what should have been the final play of the game, killing our +3 and +2.5 on both guys middle........

bummer on ucla. chalk one in the books on our under though

Yes - bummer on UCLA but the Badgers/Rebels cooperated and 2H bets across the board went very well. Main board had 3 totals land out of 22 games and 4 sides land out of 22. W Mich/Mich St caught both. Can't really complain about the Bruins allowing that last one. Caught enough breaks overall on the day to where we got our fair share of good finals .

Good local outs are getting tougher to find. I've got one that's decent, but even he's thinking to switch, and have an online book administer his customers. The new generation is so electronic minded that most locals will be gone 10 years from now - IMO.

But as alluded to earlier in the thread, it just creates a different kind of opportunity. For example, my credit shop is all -110 and lets you buy on and off any number for 10 cents. According to my records, that saved me eight units last year (Sep '09-Aug '10).

I always do 37 but on 3 they charge additional vig.

That's a good question I would like to open up to the board. I try to use the "always -110" thing to look for scalps when another book has +3 +115, but those are rare. Sometimes I buy the half point to match Fezzik's line, like that Tulsa game, I think it was, when he had it at -6' -120. I took the -7 and bought a half point to match his line. I don't really have a set system, but it's an option I use to match the picks of some on here.
